Creating Key Zones
A “key zone” is a range of keys, that plays a sample. All key zones together make up a
“key map”.
To create a new key zone, the following methods can be used:
D Select “Split Key Zone” from the Edit or context menus.
This splits the currently selected key zone in the middle. The new zone is the upper
half of the split, and is empty. The dividing point has a “handle” above it, see “Set-
ting the Key Zone Range” below for a description.
D By [Alt]/[Option]-clicking at a point just above the key zone strip, a new
empty key zone is created.
The point where you click becomes the lower limit (or boundary) for the original
key zone, and the upper limit for the new key zone.
The new empty key zone gets selected upon creation.
Selecting Key Zones
Only one key zone can be selected at a time. A selected key zone is indicated by a
light blue (as opposed to dark blue) strip above the keyboard in the display. There are
two ways you can select key zones:
D By clicking on an unselected key zone in the display.
D By activating the “Select Key Zone via MIDI” button.
Playing a note belonging to an unselected key zone from your MIDI keyboard, will
select the key zone it belongs to.
Setting the Key Zone Range
! Key zones cannot overlap.
When you adjust the boundaries of a key zone, the surrounding boundaries are auto-
matically adjusted accordingly.
You can change the key zone range in the following ways:
D By dragging the “handle(s)” which divides the key zones, you can change
the range of the selected key zone.
In the case of having two key zones split in the middle, you could thus change the
lower limit for the upper (new) key zone and the upper limit for the original key
zone.
D By using the “Lowkey” and “Highkey” knobs to set a lower and upper
range, respectively.
Deleting a Key Zone
D To delete a key zone, select it and then select “Delete Key Zone” from
the Edit menu.
